Access 2013 creates Word document

I've inherited an Access application that keeps track of requests for dog licenses, liquor licenses, etc. for my city. Unfortunately, I don't have any Access experience. While the application itself is running fine, the Word documents it produces have a watermark/background that needs to be updated.
The Access application has both a front-end and a back-end. When I open them in Alt-F11 mode, I can see code, but don't see any references to where the initial Word document/template can be found.

Now, there's lots there, but the key bits are in bold
Set oApp = CreateObject(Class:="Word.Application")
Set MlMrge = oApp.ActiveDocument.MailMerge
oApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs
For Each Thedoc In oApp.Documents

If you start looking for the bold bits in the entire VBA project, you should turn up the logic of how your app is working.

I've inherited an Access application...
Now, most developers think that storing files as attachments in tables is a lot like driving your car with your feet -- it can be done, but it's not a good idea. Your predecessor may have done so to keep the app from being broken if someone moved/renamed/deleted/edited the source document, so it may be in a field in a table. When you find the automation code driving Word, post it and we'll have a look.

The backend only has tables, there's no code. When I do a search on the front-end, I don't see any .doc* files. I bring up the find tool, have it look for ".doc*" and search in "Current Project", it doesn't find anything.

This is code to open an MS Access report.
Reports can be previewed, and reports can be printed
Paper comes out of the printer

Howeverthe Word documents it produces
that says something very different to an MS Access developer
Word documents are not MS Access reports; they can be printed and previewed but they are very different monsters.

Do you have a Word document or an MS Access report that you want to change?
That is the question!
Preview the document
Right-click.
Do you have a choice for Design View?
If you do, then you are dealing with an Access Report, and not a Word document
Is the dog license receipt one of the things that needs updating?
Because that is a report and has no relationship whatsoever with MS Word!
